Abstract

This paper argues that focussing attention only on knowledge management issues is not enough to understand the subject of knowledge transfer in the international knowledge transfer process. Rather, it is necessary to address both soft management aspects and implementation issues. Based on a case study of an electronics contract manufacturing firm, this paper concludes by advancing a theoretical framework blending soft, change and knowledge management issues. This contributes towards an improved understanding of the transfer process of organizational knowledge in international manufacturing.
